Tears rolled off Rose's eyes as she and her mother entered the hospital with her little brother's body in her arms. The truck had hit him, making him fly in the other direction. The poor boy's leg was affected and it looked like his skull too. Rose and her mother could tell because of the blood that was rushing from the side of his head."Save my son, please!!! Save him!!! I beg of you!!" Rose's mother kept begging. The nurses tried to calm her down as they slowly pushed her off the stretcher and rolled him off. They had tried to push Rose off of it too but she was adamant. She refused. She kept on saying she would stay with him to the end."Madam. I'm sorry but if you don't let go of the stretcher, we might have to call the security here. We do not let people who aren't authorized by the hospital go in there. Please understand.

Rose emerged from the restroom, covered in a fluffy towel that was securely wrapped around her chest. Her hair was still wet from the shower, and water droplets glistened on her skin. A sweet perfume floated off of her as she strolled across the room, infusing the air with a delicate fragrance.It seemed he knew everything that a woman needs, expensive things that Rose wouldn't even dream of owning. It was still too good to be true. She stood in front of the bathroom mirror and stared at herself for a long time. She was worried about what was going to happen. She had never been with a man before, but this was her wedding night. In a real sense, it seemed like he owned her, she hadn't offered anything to him, and he had been the one giving. She took a deep breath, "he won't force me to do anything that I don't want to", she thought, "he's reasonable just like he said earlier", Rose said to herself In a low whisper trying to give herself some form of assurance. Rose didn't know anythin

Prisca was sixty nine years old, but looked like she just celebrated her sixtieth. All her hair had turned gray, but she didn't seem to be too worried about it. It was neatly made and packed in a ponytail, allowing it to fall behind her neck, caressing only the tips of her shoulders as she walked. Her dress was clean and smart looking, her top matching the shoes on her feet. She was neatly dressed and spoke fluently and unapologetically, her eyes not moving away from yours as she did.
